After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure

Chapter 56: Don’t tell me I’m going to eat all of you?

Other than Old Master Shi and the younger generation, Old Lady Shi had brought her eldest, second, third sons and daughters-in-law and her fourth son along.

The few of them watched as Bai Xu left with a carriage in embroidered clothes.

Their eyes were filled with envy and greed.

Mother Xiao wanted to welcome her, but was stopped by Shi Qingluo.

She winked at Mother Xiao. “Mother, bring the younger ones to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks.”

Mother Xiao immediately understood.

This was because her daughter-in-law didn’t want her to entertain the Shi family.

She actually didn’t like them.

She initially thought that since they were in-laws, she should be more polite.

Now that her daughter-in-law had said so, she didn’t need to pretend to be polite anymore.

She smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll bring them over now.”

Then, she really brought the two children to the backyard.

Old Lady Shi and Mdm Niu frowned when they saw this.

She tried to provoke Shi Qingluo. “Isn’t your mother-in-law too rude? She didn’t even entertain her in-laws when we came.”

Shi Qingluo first looked at Xiao Hanzheng, signalling that he did not need to pay attention to the Shi family’s troublemakers.

Then, she looked at them.

She raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t you hear that I was the one who asked my mother-in-law to go to the backyard? Are you all worthy of my mother-in-law’s hospitality? You’re thinking too much.”

Old Lady Shi and the others were speechless.

Was this vile creature speaking in human language?

Mdm Niu cursed this daughter and her retributions in her heart.

Her skin was thicker, and she looked at Xiao Hanzheng with a face full of smiles. “My son-in-law’s illness has recovered? You really look like a talented person.”

He was the youngest elementary scholar in the villages nearby, and looked even better than the dukes in the county town.

If she knew that chongxi would really wake him up, she would have let her second or third daughter do it. How could she let her vile eldest daughter benefit from this?

This wretched girl had really profited.

Xiao Hanzheng faint smile without replying revealed his cold attitude towards them

If his little wife still had some face for the Shi family, he would also be polite.

However, his wife hated the Shi family’s troublemakers and she even gave him that glance.

He would listen to her then.

Shi Qingluo pointed at a chair not far away and said, “Sit down.”

Old Lady Shi brought the few of them over and sat.

They did not want to stand up either.

Just as they were about to speak, Shi Qingluo stood up.

Shi Qingluo walked to a corner of the courtyard and picked up a vine that Mother Xiao used for weaving baskets.

She placed it in her hand and patted it lightly a few times.

Only then did she walk back in front of the Shi family’s troublemakers.

Mdm Niu swallowed her saliva and felt her scalp tingle as she looked at the vine. “Ww…what are you doing?”

The others were also shocked.

Too bad, those few days, Shi Qingluo’s presence at home had left them with some psychological trauma.

Shi Qingluo saw the fear in their eyes and curled her lips. “What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t tell me I’m going to eat all of you?”

The members of the Shi family were stunned.

You might not know how to eat others, but you know how to go crazy and whip others!

Xiao Hanzheng looked at Shi Qingluo with a thin vine in her hand and the fearful looks on the Shi family.

He finally understood why the Shi family’s troublemakers hadn’t come to pick a fight with her after she had married into the Xiao family.

They were forced to be obedient by her.

He could not help but smile.

Good job, little wife!

Shi Qingluo pulled out a chair and sat across from the Shi family’s troublemakers.

She said lazily, “No one would visit the Buddhist temple for no reason. Just tell us your purpose for coming here today.”

Old Lady Shi and the others choked.

The thought of playing with the emotional card disappeared instantly.

This wretched girl was poisonous.

Old Lady Shi gave Mdm Niu a look.

Mdm Niu could only bite the bullet and ask, “My eldest daughter, we heard that you recently opened a tofu workshop?

“We’ve eaten that tofu as well. It tastes pretty good.” Someone went to their village to sell it this morning and their family bought a piece.

Only then did they realise that it was made by her.

The wretched girl had gone too far.

When she was at her parents’ house, she didn’t teach them how to make tofu, but she taught the Xiao family after she got married.

If she wasn’t afraid of the wretched girl now, she would have wanted to give her a few slaps when she entered the house.

Shi Qingluo yawned. “If you’re here for the tofu recipe, you can leave now.”

Mdm Niu’s face darkened. “My eldest daughter, don’t forget about your surname. It’s better for your family and you too.”

Shi Qingluo glanced at her. “I have previously told the Shi family that you guys would have to come and beg me in the future, but what did you guys say?

“All of you said that you wouldn’t pay any attention to me. Why are you here now? Aren’t you slapping your faces too quickly?

“Moreover, daughters gowned are daughters gone. Whether I’m living well or not, it has nothing to do with my maternal family.”

She snorted coldly. “Don’t use those petty ideas to make fun of me. It’s embarrassing.”

Mdm Niu was choked by her words. “You!”

Then she glared at Third Son Shi.

Back then, he was the fellow who had boasted that he wouldn’t take the initiative to look for the wretched girl.

Third Son Shi rubbed his nose helplessly.

He previously didn’t know that this wretched girl had learned how to make tofu from the old immortal!

Otherwise, how could he have said something like that.

If he couldn’t beat the wretched girl, at worst, he would just let her stay at home and teach them how to make tofu and don’t let her get married.

He smiled at Shi Qingluo embarrassedly and said, “My niece, let’s discuss things slowly. Don’t deny it so bluntly.”

Shi Qingluo knocked on the table with her cane. “I don’t have the time to discuss this with you guys.

“If you guys want to try the taste of the cane again, I can satisfy your wishes.”

Third Son Shi and the rest remained silent…

No, they didn’t want to try it anymore.

Fourth Son Shi was also speechless when he saw that his third brother and sister-in-law were defeated so cowardly.

However, this was also within his expectations.

This wretched girl wasn’t to be trifled with.

It was unlikely that they would get hold of the tofu recipe.

He gave Old Lady Shi a subtle wink.

Old Lady Shi wasn’t too willing to accept the situation.

The tofu business was definitely getting better and better.

She still hoped that the Shi family could get a share of the profits.

Thus, she suddenly stood up, ran to open the door, and sat on the ground crying.

“Haiz, a granddaughter is bullying her grandma. What sin have I done to raise such a…”

“Ah!”

Before she could finish her sobbing, she heard a scream. It was a male voice.

Old Lady Shi turned around and saw Shi Qingluo whipping her youngest son with a cane.

She specially aimed it at his face and hands.

Her voice that was about to continue wailing was instantly stuck in her throat.

Shi Qingluo pulled Fourth Son Shi and continued to whip him. She even smiled to her, “Old Lady, please continue. You’re crying pretty well. Why aren’t you howling anymore?

“Do it louder. I’ll help your precious youngest son cheer you up.”

She would do the same with the other troublemakers…

Old Lady Shi and Old Master Shi treasured their youngest son the most and let the entire family dote on him.

Therefore, the whipping on his body hurt Old Lady Shi’s heart.

Old Lady Shi gasped. I beg you to be a human.

Fourth Son Shi was a scholar and rarely did farm work.

He wasn’t a match to Shi Qingluo at all.

His face and hands were almost swollen from the slap.

“Mother, stop fooling around. Hurry up and close the door and come back.”

Fourth Son Shi was firmly grabbed by the back of his collar by Shi Qingluo.

There was no way for him to dodge. He was going crazy.

This wretched girl was indeed a shrew.

She actually whipped him in front of Scholar Xiao. She wasn’t a human.

Old Lady Shi could only stand up and shut the door aggrievedly. She returned and sat down.

“Enough, stop whipping. We don’t care about that lousy tofu recipe.”

She had once again experienced that this wretched girl wasn’t reasonable and wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

She looked at her eldest, second, and third sons and daughters-in-law who were cowering at the side and didn’t dare to stop them.

She was so angry that her heart ached.

This group of cowards was too embarrassing.
